Yes, replying to my own post, seems the fix was to use the libtool
program.
Here is the commands I use to compile one of the examples.
First++
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/include/w3c-libwww/ -I/usr/include -g -O2 -c
load.c
Then++(All one line)
libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o load load.o /usr/lib/libwwwinit.la
/usr/lib/libwwwapp.la /usr/lib/libwwwxml.la /usr/lib/libxml
parse.la /usr/lib/libxmltok.la /usr/lib/libwwwhtml.la
/usr/lib/libwwwtelnet.la /usr/lib/libwwwnews.la /usr/lib/libwww
http.la /usr/lib/libwwwmime.la /usr/lib/libwwwgopher.la
/usr/lib/libwwwftp.la /usr/lib/libwwwdir.la /usr/lib/libwwwcache.
la /usr/lib/libwwwstream.la /usr/lib/libwwwfile.la
/usr/lib/libwwwmux.la /usr/lib/libwwwtrans.la /usr/lib/libwwwcore.la
/usr/lib/libwwwutils.la /usr/lib/libwwwssl.la -lm
/usr/lib/libwwwzip.la /usr/lib/libmd5.la -ldl -lz -L/usr/lib -lssl
-lcrypto
I know, probably old news to most of you, but new to me. :)
Cheers,
Terrence
